Hi Guys

Where can I get an example of how to initiate workflows from EWS?

Thanks

Sorry for the delay in responding. There's no example available at the moment, but the procedure is:

- Call GetProcessDefinition for the workflow map you want to initiate.
- If desired, manipulate the ApplicationData for the ProcessDefinition (attributes will be particularly relevant here).
- Pass the ProcessDefinition object to CreateProcess with the name, any attachment IDs (of items that already exist in Livelink), and any applicable role mappings.
- CreateProcess will start a workflow and return a ProcessInstance object.

Hope this helps,

Scott
